Tree houses here are made from eco friendly raw materials like bamboo, hay, tree trunks, coir made from coconut fiber etc. The practice of building tree houses can be traced back to tribal people securing themselves from wild animals and people guarding their crops from being destroyed by elephants, sloth bears and such wild animals. Those people used very crude from of tree houses. They used ropes to reach the top.

Today tree houses are luxury spots with cushion beds, bathroom with shower etc. Tree houses today have almost everything normal to any home. You can just lay back in an easy chair to have a look at cows or deer grazing by the side of a distant valley.
